    I personally like the Cellucor protein powders. I've tried a few different brands, and I found Cellucors blend better and have better flavors than most. I've just finished my mint chocolate chip and I'm using their chocolate chip cookie dough now.

    Looking for recommendations for a protein powder that tastes good and helps you feel full without artifical sweetners etc. Thanks in advance :)

    I use Iron Vegan protein. Tastes good in either vanilla or chocolate. Not a lot of calories per 30g scoop.
    I blend it with Almond milk and a banana after workout (HIIT)

    I suppose I shouldn't say anything that might be construed as slander, but Herbalife is not a product I'd ever use. It formerly contained ephedra until the FDA banned it. Herbalife was one of the main companies fighting to keep ephedra legal. (I got this from McArdle and Katch's Exercise Physiology, an excellent book if you want the truth behind all the fitness and nutrition rumors.)

    Ephedrine (in pure form) is still legal here in Canada in small doses (8 mg, it was 25 mg up to 2002). For some, it's safe. I've used it in the past and I use it now. But in a large population it occasionally causes heart problems and even death in certain individuals. That's why I don't agree with Herbalife using ephedra as a sort of secret ingredient in their product (to my knowledge, they didn't say that's why it worked.) In Herbalife's defense, they have a much better MLM model than some other MLM companies, although that's not saying much.

    Of course this is off topic and doesn't pertain to Herbalife protein products, only to the "energy" products. The protein is likely safe but is probably more expensive than it needs to be. It's not a company I'd do business with.

    There is nothing wrong with ephedra in any form and only is an issue when people take stupid doses. It was and is one of the best appetite suppressants when combined with caffeine.
